Abstract
AbstractThis study analyzes Vietnam's food and rice consumption, especially rice consumption outside home using Vietnam households living standard surveys data 2002–2014. Our study estimates consumption of rice and rice products, not rice alone as in previous studies. The study also assesses how income affects households' rice consumption at home and away from home. Our results show as household income increases, food and rice shares in household total expenditure decrease. Food and rice expenditures outside home increase with household's wealth. Rice consumption away from home of urban residents is higher than in rural areas. There is an increasing trend of purchasing rice and downward trend of rice self‐sufficiency in poorer groups in rural areas. Regression results indicate that income has an effect on rice consumption. It confirms the declining trend of rice consumption at home and the rising trend of rice consumption outside home for richer group in Vietnam recently.
